<p>I believe&nbsp;it is ideal that the family unit shares the same

The father, being the head of the house, can exercise significant
influence over the rest of the family members to bring about an
alignment of religious beliefs, but it should not be compelled. I
think there will be greater relationship bonding when both hearts

<p>Some families work very well with different religious
beliefs.</p>
<p>On the contrary I have seen families with the same faith (all
christian, or all muslim) breaking apart and having frequent
fights.</p>
<p>Not every father desires or wants to be the head of the
household like you.</p>
<p>In many MODERN families (your mindset is still very medieval),
fathers and mothers are both heads.</p>
<p>THE WORLD does not only work with your morals and your way of
life.</p>Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:06:29 +0800sgforums.com:1381:443237:10585526Tcmchttp://sgforums.com/forums/1381/topics/443237
